Using This Guide
This guide is intended for users of MediaCentral | UX with the Media | Distribute feature. This
guide describes the installation and configuration procedures for Media Distribute, such as
installing the Media Distribute software and configuring system accounts.
For information on using the publishing features of Media Distribute, see the Avid
Media | Distribute User’s Guide or the MediaCentral | UX Help. For administrative information
for MediaCentral | UX, see the Avid MediaCentral | UX Administration Guide.
1 Installation for Media | Distribute
The supported configuration for Media Distribute requires you to install Media Distribute on
your MediaCentral | UX server, which is part of your MediaCentral configuration. For
installation information, see the Avid MediaCentral Platform Services Installation and
Configuration Guide.
Before you install Media Distribute, you must install and configure your MediaCentral server. If
you plan to process video or to use a content management system (CMS) account profile, you
must also install the Interplay Web Services. See “Installing Software for Interplay Web
Services” in the Interplay | Production Software Installation and Configuration Guide.
The Media Distribute installation procedures assume you have installed Avid MediaCentral
Platform Services (MCS). You must extract the Media Distribute installation package from
Media_Distribute_[version]Build[xx]_Linux.tar.gz. You run the installation file itself from a
shell script called install.sh. This installs the plug-in needed for MediaCentral UX to access the
Media Distribute functionality, as well as the avid-mpd service which provides the functionality
for Media Distribute workflows.
The procedures for installing Media Distribute depend on whether you install the application
components in a cluster environment or on a single MediaCentral server.
If you deploy MCS and components on a master node and one or more non-master nodes in
a cluster configuration, see
“Installing Media | Distribute in a Cluster Environment” on
page 10
.
If you deploy all MCS and components on a single server, see
“Installing Media | Distribute
on a Single Server” on page 27
.
The following installed components are necessary for the current version of Media Distribute:
Avid MediaCentral Platform Services v2.0 (if you work with a cluster configuration, you
need to ensure that all nodes in the cluster function properly)
iNEWS 3.4.3 or later (for MCS configurations with iNEWS
Avid ISIS v4.6.1 driver
Red Had Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v6.5
Avid Interplay Web Services
MediaCentral Distribution Service
Installing Media | Distribute in a Cluster Environment
10
You also need to ensure that the following are available for Media Distribute:
Interplay Media Services Engine
Interplay Transfer engine
At least one installed transcode provider
STP encoder
Internet connection for publishing to social media sites
Installing Media | Distribute in a Cluster Environment
The procedures in this section assume you have already installed and configured your
MediaCentral Platform Services on your clustered servers. For more information on configuring
a MediaCentral cluster environment, see the Avid MediaCentral Platform Services Installation
and Configuration Guide. To configure Media Distribute, you require the following:
RHEL and MediaCentral software components are installed on all servers in the cluster.
All servers are set up and configured correctly for the cluster.
Failover processes work correctly.
Installing Media Distribute entails the following steps:
Copying the Media Distribute installation files to a USB drive.
Identifying the master and non-master nodes in your configuration, and identifying the
virtual cluster IP address (see
“Identifying the Master and Non-Master Nodes” on page 11
and
“Identifying the Virtual Cluster IP” on page 12).
Installing Media Distribute on the master and all non-master nodes in your cluster
configuration.
Setting up the Media Distribute database on the master node of the cluster. You must install
Media Distribute on all nodes, but you only configure the database once.
Modifying the MCS configuration file to change the host address to the virtual cluster IP of
the cluster.
After you have installed and configured Media Distribute on your master and non-master nodes,
you need to restart some MediaCentral Platform and Media Distribute services.
For master node installation procedures, see the following topics:
“Installing Media | Distribute on the Master Node” on page 13
“Upgrading Media | Distribute on the Master Node” on page 16
Installing Media | Distribute in a Cluster Environment
11
“Removing Media | Distribute from the Master Node” on page 19
“Configuring the Media | Distribute Installation on the Master Node” on page 19
For non-master node installation procedures, see the following topics:
“Installing Media | Distribute on Non-Master Nodes” on page 21
“Upgrading Media | Distribute on Non-Master Nodes” on page 22
“Removing Media | Distribute from Non-Master Nodes” on page 24
“Configuring the Media | Distribute Installation on Non-Master Nodes” on page 24
The Media Distribute software installation package file (Interplay_Pulse_[x.x].zip) is available
to Avid Support representatives only and can be downloaded from the Avid Gold Build
repository.
To prepare and mount a USB drive for Media Distribute installation:
1. On a Windows system, format a USB drive as a FAT32 volume.
2. Get the Media Distribute installation package file
(Media_Distribute_[version]Build[xx]_Linux.tar.gz) from your Avid representative.
3. Copy the compressed installation file to the USB drive.
4. Remove the USB device from the Windows system.
Identifying the Master and Non-Master Nodes
You can use the cluster resource monitoring command, crm, to verify which server functions as
the master node and which as the non-master nodes.
To identify the master and non-master nodes, do the following:
t Log in to any node in the cluster as root and open the cluster resource monitoring utility by
typing the following:
crm resource status
The status of all cluster-related services on all nodes displays in the terminal window.
The master and non-master nodes are indicated as the Master/Slave Set — for example:
Master/Slave Set: ms_drbd_postgres [drbd_postgres]
Masters: [ morpheus-hp1 ]
Slaves: [ morpheus-hp2 ]
Installing Media | Distribute in a Cluster Environment

Identifying the Virtual Cluster IP
Some configuration files used in the configuration of your Media Distribute installation require
the virtual cluster IP. This is required for the correct configuration of the Media Distribute

The virtual cluster IP is the IP assigned to the 'eth0:c10' network adapter. In this example,
the virtual cluster IP is 172.24.18.61.
Installing Media | Distribute on the Master Node
You must install Media Distribute first on the master node of the cluster since the database
service runs on this node. The installation includes creating a database for the Media Distribute
service. This can only be done on the node with the running PostgreSQL service.
If you want to upgrade an existing version of Media Distribute, see
“Upgrading
Media | Distribute on the Master Node” on page 16
.
c
The Media Distribute installation and configuration disconnects all users logged in to
MediaCentral UX when it restarts some services. Ensure that all users save their sessions
and log off during the installation or upgrade procedures.
To install Media Distribute on the master node:
1. Insert the Media Distribute installation USB drive into the master node server.
2. Verify the name of the device by typing the following command:
dmesg
Linux information relating to hardware appears on the screen.
Information for the USB device appears near the end of the output, near the list of SCSI
devices. The name of the USB device is found inside square brackets (e.g. sdc). This is the
name you use to mount the device.
3. Create a mount point for the USB device by typing the following:
mkdir /media/usb
4. Mount the USB key at the mount point you just created:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdc<?> /media/usb
n
The name of the USB device (sdc, in this case) takes a 1 (one) in the mount command. This
simply indicates a partition exists on the USB device. Formatting the USB device in Windows
created the partition.
The USB device is now mounted and available for use.
